WARNING: Spoilers if you haven't watched the Rumble.
With the Rumble now out of the way the Rumble card is beginning to take shape. So far it looks like:
Punk vs. Cena vs. Rock (c) (given that there were shenanigans in the main event
Sheamus vs. Ziggler (it felt like Sheamus eliminating him was highlighted)
Miz vs. Cesaro (if the feud has legs)
Wade Barratt vs. Bo Dallas (okay this will likely happen at Elimination Chamber at best, but seeds were planted for something).
Agree? Disagree? Anything else that you think will now be at Mania?

Ziggler, Barrett, Cesaro, Kofi, Cody, Sandow, Kane, Bryan and others in a "Yes you guys have worked all year, but get shoved in one match at the biggest PPV" bout.

I have this sinking feeling that they're going to wind up as a make-good or someething having Punk break the streak. Really hoping not, just this instinctive thing in my gut.
Really, ideally Taker will never come back. He had his 20-0 win, he had him and Kane mowing down an army of midcarders to stand triumphant together, he's not needed anymore and he's already gotten a perfectly appropriate sendoff.

Cena/Rock seems written in stone but I suppose they could always scratch in Punk for something fresh and good.
WHC: Who knows? I don't see Del Rio getting there but I didn't think he'd survive the night as champ either.
Punk/Taker is heavily rumored but I wonder if they don't make it Taker and Hunter v. Punk and Lesnar.
Guessing Cesaro against Swagger, maybe Miz.
Ryback and ? ? against Shield?

I'm almost sure there is going to be a fatal four way between Ziggler, Del Rio, Sheamus, and Orton over the WHC.
Never mind, just thought about and it would be more realistic to do Ziggler/Del Rio and Orton/Sheamus.

If they have any kind of sense, they'd do Orton / Sheamus non-title and just have Ziggler / del Rio for the gold. So expect Dolph to cash in tomorrow then lose it in the Chamber to Orton or something.

Even more than recent years, I think they're going to struggle to fit everything into 4 hours.
Let's say the following matches happen:
Rock/Cena for the WWE title Lesnar/HHH in a no holds barred match Undertaker/Punk Del Rio/Ziggler for the World title Big Show/Ryback Sheamus/Orton Mysterio/Sin Cara Kaitlyn/AJ for the Divas title
To give all those matches the proper time they would need (the divas and Show/Ryback are the only ones you'd expect to go 10 minutes or less) it would essentially take up the whole show before you even get to The Shield, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Antonio Cesaro, Wade Barrett, Christian and Mark Henry (if they're back in time) and any others I'm forgetting.

Probably why they're allegedly considering a MITB match.

WrestleMania is exactly why it feels like they're pushing too many guys to the top of the card at once. There are too many guys that "have to be on the show" and a handful of them end up getting lost in the shuffle or shoehorned into a meaningless angle.

Probably why they're allegedly considering a MITB match. If they want a multi-man match this year I think it might be more worthwhile to combine the "Smackdown" feuds and do a scramble match for the World title with like Del Rio, Ziggler, Orton, Sheamus, Show and Ryback. You could throw in two more (Bryan & Kane?) I guess. I forget how many people are supposed to be in the scramble matches. Having the World title match be a singles match is just a recipe for disaster at this point. It's always completely overshadowed by the 3 big main events. At least doing something different with it will make it stand out more.

My prediction for the 'Mania card:
Rock vs Cena 2 for the WWE Title Alberto Del Rio vs Randy Orton (with Orton as a heel) for the WHC Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H, so Hunter gets his win back CM Punk vs. Undertaker Antonio Cesaro vs. Chris Jericho for the US Title Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus Ryback vs. The Shield (Handi-cap match) The Miz vs. Big Show AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn for the Divas title Rey/Sin Cara vs. Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Team Hell No for the Tag belts

I got a orton v sheamus vibe rather than dolf tbh. Actually I was thinking of Ryback vs Heel Orton. The Unstopable Force of Nature vs The Apex PRedator. Two months of Mindgames and Shenanigans.
